I finally found figs at the farmers market! I have been waiting so patiently. Every week the man said "next week, try next week" and finally the day has come! Aren't they beautiful? The colors are so bright and bold. Since I already had the george foreman heated up from my eggplants, I threw on some of the figs to bring out the sweetness and caramelize them a bit. They were warm, gooey and sweet. Great as a quick dessert topping on ice cream, or my favorite, mascarpone. I drizzled some honey on them just for a bit more sweetness. You could even stuff them with goat cheese and they become a savory appetizer! Yum!

Zoe,and you didn't dedicate this post to me?I think I am going to lose readers to my blog because I talk about figs way too much!I made spiced figs this week and they were to die for!I eat them every a.m. on my Greek yogurt.I hate when summer ends, because that means no more figs.boo hoo.
